Part 8/12:
Throughout the proceedings, the demeanor and body language of the defense counsel spoke volumes. Observers and legal analysts noted the calm, measured, and confident delivery—an embodiment of mastery in courtroom advocacy. Contrasting sharply with the plaintiff’s lawyer, whose animated gestures, emotional tone, and apparent desperation betrayed a weaker position, Tesla’s representative exuded composure and credibility.
The plaintiff's lawyer, dubbed “Old Mate” by observers, appeared defensive and overly animated, which analysts suggest may have reflected the weakness of his case. His inability to temper his gestures and tone during argumentation was perceived as a sign of underlying uncertainty, especially when faced with relentless dismantling of his claims by Tesla's counsel.
